Just another example that Dwight is really over hyped beyond compare….. otherwise he’d be winning big and staying put.

S. Brown
Childress
Gortat
Telfair
Plus draft picks..
(ESPN trade machine says it works)
* The reality is though, that ORLANDO would probably want, Morris and/or Dudley and may not necessarily want Gortat…? He has become a great starting centre though in the league.

They won’t get that type of deal this year because a lot of teams already have solid rosters, and those that need to “blow things up” don’t have the players that are worth including in a trade for Dwight. Orlando should just suck it up and let D12 walk, then rebuild using the cap room that is freed up.

Dwight for Amare is even more ridiculous. Westbrook? My God man, where do you come up with this? And Mookie, asking Orange to be real about his Knicks is like asking Kobe to make the extra pass. Not possible

Sat, 10 Mar 2012 04:53:52 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=193819#comment-2133168I Think knicks should trade amere for Blake Griffin or Dwight but not Carmelo Anthony because hes mostly the center piece of this team and probably one of the top ten players in the league to play with so i dont think the knicks should be thinking trading Carmelo Anthony. but however i do think they should get a star type player unlike Carmelo And Amere So i think Trading Amere is the best Option for the knicks team and not Carmelo and think of it for Example Westbrook D-Will Kevin love Steve Nash Tony parker Big men Lamarcus Aldridge and Josh smith are good trade scenarios for a Possible Knick Trade.

Sat, 10 Mar 2012 00:45:13 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=193819#comment-2132852Underperforming? I didn’t hear a whisper about the Knicks underperforming from the time Amare arrived until the time the Melo trade happened. In fact, Amare was a legit MVP candidate until that point, and Felton looked like a really good point. And oh: do you really think that the guy who coached Jordan and Kobe in their primes is going to risk his sterling reputation by entering the New York media meatgrinder to coach . . . Carmelo? Come on. As for Pops or Thibodeau coming to the rescue . . . good luck. Unless you want to lure someone like Sam Mitchell over to coach after firing D’Antoni I’d say forget about switching coaches any time soon. The sad reality for Knicks fans is that the team is terribly constructed. Sure there’s talent, but the top players are offensive black holes who can’t play defence. A D’Antoni team can obviously live with minimal defence, but poor ball movement? Forget about it. Melo is the biggest offender and (still) the best player, so it makes sense to point the finger (in part) at him.

Fri, 09 Mar 2012 18:51:57 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=193819#comment-2132292The Knicks werent going anywhere with that team pre-trade, Denver had a solid squad without melo, and george Karl is a way better coach then D’antoni, and easy with the Lin’s dominance thing, they won a handful of games because of his emergence, plain and simple the knicks team is under-performing and have been since he became coach. One example is why does every high pick and roll have to include tyson chandler? Amare thrives in that play set. If anyone isnt a good fit for NYC its Dantoni, without Nash to make him look like a genius that offense really doesnt work. On another note who is the best shooter of all-time in the NBA? In a recent game some announcer suggested it was Nash, and looking at his shot %s; I gotta say they make a compelling case .

The Amar’e/Ray Felton/Chandler Knicks were actually performing pretty well prior to the trade.

New York’s record since the trade is inflated if anything because of Lin’s dominance while Melo was injured. When the Melo trade went down New York was hovering around .500, and they’ve played well below .500 ever since. Meanwhile, Denver’s record is, if anything, deflated because of their many injuries this year. When healthy the Nuggets are a borderline elite team. So you tell me: is it worth it to give up most of your depth and some talented young players for a ball-stopping “superstar” who can’t be bothered to play defence, can’t pass and scores inefficiently? Sure, there are issues up and down the roster, and that includes coaching. But let’s be honest: Melo was never a good fit in New York, D’antoni didn’t want him, and yeah, D’antoni has a pretty good record when it comes to managing offenses.

If Phil comes outta retirement and takes that job watch, if tom no-neck thibodeau or even coffee cake popovich had that job it would be a completely different result.

Fri, 09 Mar 2012 18:12:51 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=193819#comment-2132215I kid you not. Denver is 40-24 since the trade, New York is 32-35. Denver also currently has a higher seed in a tougher conference, so there’s that.

Denver 7 games above in the standings despite being in the tougher (IMO) conference, both teams have had their ‘star’ players out for a period. Should New York get some proper depth and consistency then the trade will look a lot better, thus far, in my opinion, it’s been pretty disastrous.
